Question

My specific problem is that when I attempt to bind with the following full dn, all is well

new LDAPConnection().bind(LDAPConnection.LDAP_V3, 
"uid=[e-mail],ou=Lev1,ou=Lev2,o=Company", "secret".getBytes());

however, when I attempt to bind with an incomplete dn, I am getting an Invalid Credentials exception.

new LDAPConnection().bind(LDAPConnection.LDAP_V3,
"uid=[e-mail],ou=Lev1,o=Company", "secret".getBytes());

Is their some form of wildcarding that is possible, such as “uid=[e-mail],ou=Lev1,ou=*,o=Company”?

Answer 1

To do a wildcard like this you have to do a search first and select which one you want to perform the bind. This may mean you need to bind with an id which can perform the search. 😉
